Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1425 Riches
After finalizing the resettlement plan, Liu Changxu and his family began to release the powerful figures from various races imprisoned in the Demon Emperor's Bracelet one by one. When these powerful figures, who had been imprisoned for many years, saw the light of day again, some were wary, while others could not hide their excitement. Although their auras were slightly weakened due to their long imprisonment, their former strength was still evident.

The screening and review process was conducted in an orderly manner in the square specially designated by the Ruyi Lotus Palace.

First, an investigation team composed of Liu Fuyang's son and others verified the identities and backgrounds of these powerful individuals, recorded their cultivation levels, strengths, and past experiences, and eliminated potential risks.
Finally, Liu Changxu's wife, Chen Yufei, and others asked them one by one about their plans for the future: whether they were willing to join the Demon Extermination Army to fight against the Giant Demon Clan, return to their homeland to find their relatives, or stay on Taibai Star to recuperate.

Throughout the entire process, Liu Changxu remained seated in the main position in the square, his gaze calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.

He did this mainly because these powerful individuals were generally quite strong, and his wife and children were simply not strong enough to intimidate them, so he wanted to prevent his wife and children from being injured by these powerful individuals during the investigation.

An angelic cultivator at the Tribulation stage, upon being released, saw Liu Fuyang, a mere early-stage Tribulation cultivator, attempting to examine him. He then showed disdain and decided to teach Liu Fuyang a lesson.

Upon seeing this, Liu Changxu did not hesitate and immediately killed him.

In this way, the entire screening and selection process immediately became orderly. After all the screenings were completed, the vast majority of powerful individuals from various races were willing to join the Demon-Slaying Army, with only a few choosing to leave.

For those powerful individuals who chose to leave, Liu Changxu immediately fulfilled his promise and allowed them to leave if they were human. However, the remaining powerful individuals from other races who chose to leave had to swear an oath to "never be an enemy of the human race" before they could be allowed to leave.

Ultimately, among the powerful figures from various races who were rescued from the first Demon Emperor Bracelet, a total of eleven Tribulation Transcending stage cultivators, forty-nine Integration stage cultivators, and two hundred and thirty Void Refining stage cultivators chose to join the newly established Demon Extermination Army.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Changxu opened another Demon Emperor Bracelet, the contents of which were almost identical to the first one, also imprisoning a considerable number of powerful individuals from various races.

Following the previous procedure, he arranged for his family to screen and investigate them one by one—verifying their identities, understanding their demands, clarifying military discipline, and ultimately recruiting the strong among them who were willing to join the Demon-Slaying Army.

After two integrations, the Demon-Slaying Army's lineup was complete: twenty-one Transcending Tribulation stage experts, one hundred and eight Integration stage experts, and five hundred and ten Refinement stage experts. This force of only a few hundred people, though small in scale, brought together elites from various races, and each member possessed considerable combat power, instantly becoming a formidable force on Taibai Star.

To ensure control over the army, Liu Changxu specially transferred his sons Liu Fuyang and Liu Fuba to the army to serve as his left and right deputies, respectively, to coordinate daily military affairs; at the same time, he also arranged for dozens of Liu family members whose cultivation had reached the Refinement stage to join the Demon Extermination Army.

This arrangement not only greatly enhanced Liu Changxu's control over the army, but also forced some powerful alien races to abandon their inappropriate thoughts, thereby greatly improving the army's cohesion and combat effectiveness. As a result, this hastily established army quickly demonstrated its powerful combat strength on the battlefield against demons, and eventually grew into a powerful army that traversed the universe.

After the Demon-Slaying Army was assembled, Liu Changxu did not rush to deploy it into battle. He knew that this army, composed of powerful individuals from various races, while each possessing considerable strength, lacked coordination due to their long imprisonment and diverse habits, making them more like a disorganized mob. Without proper training, hastily sending them into battle would only result in a ragtag group with empty shells. Therefore, he personally tailored a rigorous training program for the Demon-Slaying Army, guiding them in practicing battle formations to enhance their coordinated combat capabilities.

This was nothing short of torture for the powerful warriors of various races who were used to fighting on their own, and their private complaints never ceased.

However, faced with the oppressive aura and iron fist of Liu Changxu, a powerful Mahayana cultivator, none of the powerful figures from various races dared to openly defy him, despite their deep reluctance.

However, as the training program progressed, they gradually realized that Commander Liu Changxu was not deliberately making things difficult for them, but rather using the most direct method to engrave the four words "orders must be obeyed" into everyone's bones.

Through day-to-day training and honing their skills, the initial resistance and laxity gradually faded away, and the team's temperament changed. The strong individuals who were originally used to fighting alone now had more trust in their teammates in their eyes and more obedience to orders in their actions.

As time went by, these former prisoners of war began to transform into true warriors, and a powerful army whose future fame would resound throughout the world gradually took shape.

During a break from overseeing the training of the Demon-Slaying Army, Liu Changxu did not forget to take stock of the high-level spiritual items in the two Demon Emperor bracelets.

Since these two bracelets were originally the private collection of the Troll King, and their interiors were vast with all sorts of rare and high-level spiritual items piled up like mountains, Liu Changxu focused his attention on the ninth-tier spiritual items that he could use.

As for spirit stones, cultivation manuals, and spiritual items of grade lower than nine, he planned to have his wife and children inventory and catalog them, and then store them in the family treasury for future family development reserves.

To Liu Changxu's great delight, the number of ninth-tier spiritual items within the two Demon Emperor bracelets far exceeded his expectations. After a careful inventory, the harvest was quite substantial:
There are a total of 180 pieces of ninth-grade spirit gold, including 135 pieces of low-grade ninth-grade gold, 43 pieces of mid-grade ninth-grade gold, and two pieces of high-grade ninth-grade crimson gold, whose color is like molten gold flowing with rosy clouds. If the Crimson Lotus Immortal Sword absorbs and devours them, it can greatly improve the quality of the immortal sword.

There are 135 pieces of ninth-grade spirit jade, 102 pieces of low-grade jade, 31 pieces of mid-grade jade, and two pieces of high-grade seven-colored immortal jade. The jade is as clear as autumn water, and the seven-colored spiritual light flowing inside can be faintly seen. If they are given to the Ruyi Soul-Destroying Lamp to be absorbed, their grade and power can be further enhanced.

There were twenty-three ninth-grade spiritual fruits, eighteen of which were of low grade and five of medium grade. Each fruit was plump and its skin was surrounded by visible radiance of laws. One of them, a medium-grade ninth-grade "Purple Flame Fruit," was said to help Mahayana cultivators improve the quality of their primordial spirit after consumption.

There are thirty-nine ninth-grade spiritual herbs, thirty-two of which are of low grade and seven of medium grade. Although they have been around for a long time, their roots, stems and leaves are still fresh. Among them is a ninth-grade medium grade "Mysterious Water Dragon Fungus", whose cap is like a coiled dragon. The dripping juice can instantly repair damaged meridians.
There is also a pound of ninth-grade low-level Snow Tooth Tea. The tea leaves are shaped like jade teeth formed by the first snow. When brewed, the aroma is clear and refreshing, like plum blossoms blooming in the cold. Regular consumption can stabilize the soul of a Mahayana cultivator and help cultivators improve their understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.

With these ninth-tier spiritual items, Liu Changxu could not only further enhance the quality and power of his spiritual treasures, but also accelerate the progress of his cultivation.
